Festival of Black Nazarene

Hello everyone!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their celebrations,Here is another cause for celebration.Jan 9 is celebrated as the Feast of Holy Black Nazarene in Philippines.Jan 9 is a feast day in order to celebrate the 'transalacion'  the final transfer of the shrine to where it lies today.

The Black Nazarene is a life sized sculpture of Jesus which is said to have obtained its black color due to burning of a ship which was carrying it.People believe the wooden statue to be miraculous.
So,if you are anywhere near the shrine today may be you can pay a visit and get Lucky.A huge procession is held on this day where millions of people participate in the procession to celebrate the feast.

If you are not anywhere near its no cause to stop your celebrations on a Sunday.Maybe you can pray that lady luck favor you and start your own celebrations..
So Good Luck
